    auto fill function or formula

    Hello,
    Please see attached excel sheet. I need to auto fill the blank spaces on column A with the previous value. So for example, I need to fill A2-A3 with the value of A1 (i.e. 9) and A6:A17 wwith teh value of A5 (ie 13) and so on until the end of the column.
    Is there a formula that can do this?
    Thanks!

    - Select A2:A4778
    - Press F5...Special...Blanks
    - Enter = followed by the up cursor key (=A2 will appear in formula bar)
    - Confirm the formula with Ctrl+Enter
    - Select A2:A4778 again and copy...paste special...values
